Create a Collection

Create a collection in Orama Cloud

Once you have signed up for Orama Cloud, you can create a collection. A collection is a set of data sources that you want to use for RAG, search, or any other method of retrieval.

If you're not familiar with the concept of collections, check out the introduction to Orama Cloud for more information.

Create a collection

The first time you log in to Orama Cloud, you will see an empty projects window. Click on the Create a project button to create your first project. A project is a set of collections.

Empty Projects Window

When asked, insert a project name and click on Create project. You will be redirected to the project page, which will look like this:

Empty Collections Window

At this point, you can create your first collection. Once you click on the Create a collection button, you will be asked to insert a name for your collection and select the language and embedding model you want to use. You can also add an optional description to help you identify the collection later.

At the time of writing, you will not be able to change the language of the collection after it has been created. This will be enabled in a future release and will work for all existing collections.

Collections Settings Window

Once you have filled in the required fields, click on Create collection. You will be redirected to the collection page, which will look like this:

Congratulations! You have created your first collection. Now you can start adding data sources to it, but we will cover that in the data source section.
